Re: Jesse James - Season 2

Thought it was smart of Jesse to split his team with Brande & Annie cooking and Melissa and him doing advertising/marketing. I was worried when Piers confronted him about fund rasing that he was toast. He has been using his smarts instead of his contacts and that is industrious of him. Glad his team actually won and he survived for next week.

Re: Jesse James - Season 2

If looks could kill, Piers would be a dead man right now. Jesse didn't like the implications, made by Piers, about his wife's friends (Hollywood stars) contributions......or lack thereof. It's obvious Jesse wants to keep his wife et al out of this show and I say good for him. He's doing very well on his own.

That entire exchange - especially Trump's contributions - made me mad. Jesse was brought on the show for the work he's done, not for the woman he's married. I could kind of understand Piers bringing her into it, from the standpoint of resources to call on to raise money. However, once it trailed off into "Why did she marry him ... he must be good in bed" I think Jesse would have been justified in jumping over the table, resigning, and then taking care of "business". It was out of line. The class and intelligence that Jesse has shown thus far in the competition -- I've got a feeling THAT is why Sandra married him.

I think Trump made the good in bed comment because he wants people to beleive that about him and Melania

You're absolutely right. It's guys like Jesse, who women find attractive for their character instead of their wallet, that make Trump and others like him feel insecure. Jesse stayed true to who he is and let Trump make an a$$ of himself.

Re: Jesse James - Season 2

Jesse already said on last week's show that he wants to save his fundraising bullets for when it can benefit his charity. Given that, I'm sure he was disappointed to be PM in a non-fundraising challenge (Annie gets to give $200K+ and he only gets to give $20K???). Perhaps he's holding back for a second PM gig on a task where there are bigger bucks to be earned.
